BillsCuse Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 I dont see him available at all. Brees is in his twilight years - they are all in on Super Bowl or bust 1
Mike in Horseheads Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 Thanks for asking Aristo, I'm always available for the right price

There aren’t many people who wouldn’t welcome a great wideout on their team. Almost every elite WR in the league has been called a diva at some point. I suppose fans would prefer a bunch of mediocre nice guy receivers ?
without a drought Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 Probably not available and not a position of need. Get it done. 2
BarleyNY Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 NO is not trading Michael Thomas. They didn’t sell out to make a SB run for one last season to throw it away by trading their best WR - and apparently necessary piece to make that offense special as opposed to pretty ordinary.

NO will never let him go, we already have three top receivers (maybe four), our salary cap is in good shape, we need help much more at other positions -- need I go on?

Augie Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 That is the LAST position we should trade for. Maybe draft for the future next year, but we need help in SO MANY other places first. 1
dma0034 Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 Thomas makes that Saints offense go. You've seen them in the last 2 years without Thomas, Brees and Kamara and Thomas is by far the one that has hurt them the most. He isn't getting traded.

There’s nothing cheap enough or worth it on defense or TE, and we only have $3.5 mil. left, and next year we are $2.5 mil. over if the cap drops to $175 mil. Beane does not want to give up draft picks as cheap labor in a Covid cap year.

JMF2006 Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 I think he is all used up.....a smallish WR with a million catches over a short span IMHO his body is broken. 14 hours ago, ColeB said: He injured his hamstring in practice. Like Spain injured his foot? If he(Thomas) really did it was probably running to avoid being beaten up by teammate
Thurman#1 Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 No, he's not available. The Saints aren't going to take $27M in dead cap on the guy. But say he were, we still couldn't afford him. I mean, this year we could but next year we have $2.8M available under the cap, and that's even before we pay our rookie draftees. Do you really want Michael Thomas as a one-year rental who you gave up Johnm Brown and a first for?
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 After today Diggs will be the top FFL WR in scoring. We really don’t need another WR.
PetermansRedemption Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 I’m not sure he is available. But there’s definitely something going on with Thomas in New Orleans.

I believe they were like $20m over going into that offseason. Between the two they ate $26m on a cap that was like 140m at the time (plus Grubbs and lofton added another 10 or so- it was dead money everywhere and this board kept telling me it was cause of Drew- eye roll.) if you are slashing and burning and Drew is gone you might decide to just rip the bandaid and get high picks to get out from under the contract, avoid carrying the culture issues forward and get low priced talent in house down the line. im not saying it’s LIKELY but I am saying it wouldn’t be impossible or wildly out of character for them to look at.
